Free Download Barbara Baert, "Petrifying Gazes: Danae and the Uncanny Space " English | ISBN: 9042946385 | 2021 | 117 pages | PDF | 2 MB Of all the ancient myths where rain plays an important role, the impregnation of Danae by Zeus through a golden rain is perhaps the one most often depicted in art. This essay is dedicated to the artistic afterlife of the myth, with special focus on the painting of Danae (1527) by Jan Gossaert van Mabuse (1478-1532). Gossaert's Danae is a sophisticated articulation of outer and inner discourse: the hard, dry, background, with its eclectic architecture, in contrast with the sweltering, moist, foreground with the figure's naked body. This essay develops Gossaert's complex phantasmata surrounding architecture, decoration, and the female body in three spaces: the intimate space of impregnation, the psychosomatic space, and, third, the petrifying space of Medusa. Barbara Baert writes: "Danae is the living emanation of painting as the uttermost exhibitionistic medium. Her unveiled skin fragile exposed in the midst of an overwhelming symphonic outburst of details, facades, windows. Danae: martyr of glossy materials - marble and flesh - unable to disappear in her own skin; held hostage within a medium of walls. Her only desire is to disappear in the ultimate thin membrane, to vaporize beyond the harsh brocks and, then, at the very end, leave the medium of textile too. There were threads become drippings, lines become tears."  Free Download Luisa Passerini, "Performing Memory: Corporeality, Visuality, and Mobility after 1968 " English | ISBN: 1800739966 | 2023 | 216 pages | PDF | 1225 KB Through a post-1968 perspective on the past 50 years, Performing Memory brings together case studies on new developments in the relationship between politics and visual representation―including the histories of dance, theatre, political performance and cinema―and investigates how they relate to the interlinked concepts of visuality, corporeality and mobility. Using a collective transdisciplinary attitude from within historical disciplines, and looking across to artistic fields, this volume demonstrates that memory is not merely a recollection of experience but an interactive process, in which the body, mobile and constrained, is both a point of departure and reference.

Free Download Pauulu's Diaspora: Black Internationalism and Environmental Justice By Quito J Swan 2020 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0813057507 | PDF | 7 MB Pauulu's Diaspora is a sweeping story of black internationalism across the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean worlds, told through the life and work of twentieth-century environmental activist Pauulu Kamarakafego. Challenging U.S.-centered views of Black Power, Quito Swan offers a radically broader perspective, showing how Kamarakafego helped connect liberation efforts of the African diaspora throughout the Global South.Born in Bermuda and with formative experiences in Cuba, Kamarakafego was aware at an early age of the effects of colonialism and the international scope of racism and segregation. After pursuing graduate studies in ecological engineering, he traveled to Africa, where he was inspired by the continent's independence struggles and contributed to various sustainable development movements. Swan explores Kamarakafego's remarkable fusion of political agitation and scientific expertise and traces his emergence as a central coordinator of major black internationalist conferences. Despite government surveillance, Kamarakafego built a network of black organizers that reached from Kenya to the islands of Oceania and included such figures as C. L. R. James, Queen Mother Audley Moore, Kwame Nkrumah, Sonia Sanchez, Sylvia Hill, Malcolm X, Vanessa Griffen, and Stokely Carmichael.In a riveting narrative that runs through Caribbean sugarcane fields, Liberian rubber plantations, and Papua New Guinean rainforests, Pauulu's Diaspora recognizes a global leader who has largely been absent from scholarship. In doing so, it brings to light little-known relationships among Black Power, pan-Africanism, and environmental justice.  Free Download Katherine Giuffre, "Outrage: The Arts and the Creation of Modernity" English | ISBN: 150363535X | 2023 | 210 pages | PDF | 1429 KB A cultural revolution in England, France, and the United States beginning during the time of the industrial and political revolutions helped usher in modernity. This cultural revolution worked alongside the better documented political and economic revolutions to usher in the modern era of continuous revolution. Focusing on the period between 1847 and 1937, the book examines in depth six of the cultural "battles" that were key parts of this revolution: the novels of the Brontë sisters, the paintings of the Impressionists, the poetry of Emily Dickinson, the Ballets Russes production of  Free Download Outrage Machine: How Tech Amplifies Discontent, Disrupts Democracy-And What We Can Do About It by Tobias Rose-Stockwell English | July 11th, 2023 | ISBN: 0306923327 | 416 pages | True EPUB | 13.50 MB Amazon's Best History Book of the Month for July 2023  Free Download Roman Valiulin, "Organic Chemistry: 100 Must-Know Mechanisms Ed 2" English | ISBN: 3110786826 | 2023 | 270 pages | EPUB, PDF | 20 MB + 161 MB In chemistry, good problem-solving requires a balanced combination of scientific intuition and methodical analysis. Additionally, thoughtfully presented diagrams and infographics can convey a large amount of complex information in a more intuitive and accessible manner. 100 Must-Know Mechanisms (Second Edition) strives to be at the intersection of these two key principles. Its thorough visualizations enable experienced readers to use it as a quick reference for specific mechanisms of interest. At the same time, the book's breadth of covered reactions, from classic to cutting-edge, make it a good study-aid for the developing chemist. A slow and consistent study of the entire series of mechanisms can help set the foundation for good scientific intuition, while its detailed infographics and careful navigation features encourage coming back to it frequently. This edition includes over 40 new illustrations, numerous new mechanistic schemes, enhanced original figures with a variety of real-case examples, and more  Free Download Operatic Migrations: Transforming Works and Crossing Boundaries By Roberta Montemorra Marvin (editor), Downing A. Thomas (editor) 2006 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 0754650987 | PDF | 6 MB This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to studying a wide range of subjects associated with the creation, performance and reception of 'opera' in varying social and historical contexts from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Each essay addresses migrations between genres, cultures, literary and musical works, modes of expression, media of presentation and aesthetics. Although the directions the contributions take are diverse, they converge in significant ways, particularly with the rebuttal of the notion of the singular nature of the operatic work. The volume strongly asserts that works are meaningfully transformed by the manifold circumstances of their creation and reception, and that these circumstances have an impact on the life of those works in their many transformations and on a given audience's experience of them. Topics covered include transformations of literary sources and their migration into the operatic genre; works that move across geographical and social boundaries into different cultural contexts; movements between media and/or genre as well as alterations through interpretation and performance of the composer's creation; the translation of spoken theatre to lyric theatre; the theoretical issues contingent on the rendering of 'speech' into 'song'; and the transforming effects of aesthetic considerations as they bear on opera. Crossing over disciplinary boundaries between music, literary studies, history, cultural studies and art history, the volume enriches our knowledge and understanding of the operatic experience and the works. The book will therefore appeal to those working in the field of music, literary and cultural studies, and to those with a particular interest in opera and musical theatre. |
